It's actually called a sea hare. They're pretty common at the tidepools just north of t#b##t#p#.

That's right, a "Sea Hare"...
I've seen these at the aquarium but not in the tidepools. It was a rare find for me! This dude was really big. The tide had just gone low and he was in a really small pool a good ways up so I broke the Prime Directive and put him under some concealment in a bigger one.
